It was the first game between these former Southwest Conference rivals since 2008 and ends a two-game skid in the series for Arkansas. The game was played in front of a sellout crowd that included Earl Campbell, who won the Heisman Trophy at Texas in 1977.

Arkansas (7-6) built a 24-7 lead by halftime and Jonathan Williams, who finished with 105 yards rushing, added a 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to make it 31-7.

Texas (6-7) was smothered by Arkansas’ defense almost all night and finished with a season-low 59 total yards.
